My son was scratching his head for a good quote for his yearbook. I don't know if I'm glad or sad that he didn't see this beforehand. The girl may be taking AP Chem her senior year.... hmmm I may have to give her an idea.

/Ditty's is quite good too

The hardest part of a null cipher is making it sound "natural". Generally, the more "nulls" you use, the easier it is, but it lengthens the message. So using the first letter of every word sounds a bit 'forced', as in my example, and someone with the correct bent would pick up on that immediately. A classic example of the genre, though is the letter that was sent to Sir John Trevanion, right before he was due to be executed.

What I want to know is, how long did it take for the administration to figure it out? If she already had her diploma, then fark them. But if she didn't/doesn't, she's in for a world of petty, authoritarian hurt.

"panel at east end of chapel slides". Yes, I am bored at work.

And the rest of the story: Trevanion asked that he be allowed to pray in the chapel in his final hours, and he was afforded the chance to do so. When his guards checked on him about an hour later, he was missing, having escaped.

The story may be apocryphal, however, but it does show how a larger and more irregular set of nulls between the ciphertext letters can afford greater security.

I remember my struggle to put a snarky quote into my high school yearbook. They did not accept "Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization" (Elbert Hubbard) or "Whenever the Constitution comes between me and the virtue f the white women of South Carolina, I say to hell with the Constitution" (Gov. Coleman Blease). I forget what I did put in, but it wasn't as good.
